public enemy tour

[wongthecorrupter]

Before i discovered my love of all guitar music,as a lad in the 80s and a teenager in the 90s to me music was crap, the 80s being a terrible time for music in my honest opinion,the 90s got better with the seattle sound and more metal music coming around, anyway i always listened to rap / hip hop i noticed public enemy are touring so i sorted myself out a ticket. Anybody on here going or have they seen the live before.

I saw them on the 'Fear of a Black Planet' tour in New York in 1990. Supported by Kid n Play, Digital Underground, Heavy D and the Boyz, and Chill Rob G. Was an awesome show, PE were the dogs dangles back then

I watched them play Reading 92 a thought they were awful but if you look at the line up that year you can see why http://www.songkick.com/festivals/57-reading/id/23...
Too may hard acts to follow that weekend

Saw them back in the day on the Def Jam Tour- at the time it was mind blowing!!
Saw them a few weeks ago in Bristol and they still are as much on point as they were back then!!, the gig was just a few days after Flavor Flav's little "incident with his ex" so no one was sure if he was going to be there or not- he was! and bounded on like a nutter!

Chuck and Flav just true masters of the game! i guess when you been at it for 25 odd years you get honed!!
Full live band and a replacement for Terminator X called DJ Lord who is just immense!!- Flav also took to the drums and a bass guitar at one point- bit iffy, but very very funny!!

If you get the chance- go see them- Do Believe the Hype!!!

Shame that my namesake is no longer there

I saw them last year and I thought they were great, really high energy show. I wouldn't know if it was as good as them playing back in the day as I never saw that but definitely worth going to. Although I must say I did enjoy the DJ Jazzy Jeff set I saw last year over Public Enemy's performance.

+1 That's a show I'd love to have seen. Im tempted to go. I've seen a few people I've not seen recently from the golden age and have been a bit disappointed. Everyone says PE shows are still good.

It was bloody brilliant, Digital Underground were the standout act for me (other than PE obviously) - It was at the same time 'The Humpty Dance' had blown up in America so the place erupted when they played that.

Brilliant song. Was 2Pac still with them at that point?

I believe so as it was around that time, but as I had no idea who he was back then I don't really know
